Hi, Sarah

I would LOVE to read your piece on the history of ESL - I'm also very much interested in the role of the settlement houses and in the early years of bilingual education (English-German at that point) and the "foreign-language media" (newspapers and radio)

Unfortunately, the link requires a password. Is there another way to access the piece?  Or could you attach it as a PDF or Word file?

Thanks so much

Heide

Subject: [EnglishLanguage 2766] History of Adult ESL Instruction

Greetings,
I'd like to share with you all a presentation that I developed based on a personal research interest of mine -- the history of adult immigrant education. This began with wanting to know more about a hometown celebrity -- Jane Addams and her Hull House settlement -- and gradually grew into more research on how immigrants have learned and been taught English since the late 1800s. I presented this at two conferences this past spring, and now the PowerPoint and bibliography are available at http://www.cal.org/caela/esl_resources/<https://mail.cal.org/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.cal.org/caela/esl_resources/> under "A Brief History of Adult ESL Instruction." There is not a paper to accompany this yet, but there's some good information, historical perspective, and interesting photos/images included in the PowerPoint. Please let me know off-list if you have any questions or comments, as this is a topic I would like to continue pursuing in the future.

Thanks,
Sarah Young
